Derivatives are complex financial instruments. The Company does not use derivatives to manage financial risks or as an economic hedge. The Company’s sole derivative instrument arose as part of the issuance of Series A-1 preferred stock, to Searchlight, in which transaction Searchlight was also granted Penny Warrants (see Note 10 — Warrants on Common Stock). The Penny Warrants are considered a freestanding derivative instrument, as they are separable and legally detachable from the Series A-1 preferred stock, were issued for nominal or no apparent consideration, and have the essential characteristics inherent in a derivative instrument of a notional amount, an underlying security, and a mechanism for net settlement.

The following tables set forth the details of the derivative instrument presented on the consolidated balance sheets and notional amount as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 :
